The catalytic activity of (P)NiMo/Ti-HMS and (P)NiW/Ti-HMS catalysts i
n the reaction of hydrogenation of naphthalene is studied. The hydroge
nation activity of the tungsten based catalysts is superior to that of
the conventional alumina supported catalysts. The molybdenum based ca
talysts manifest mild hydrogenation activity. The high catalytic activ
ity is attributed to the high surface area and pore volume of the supp
ort. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
